Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a polynucleotide, which can effectively suppress the immunoreactivity caused by DNA having a CpG motif and which can be used for preventing and/or treating immune-mediated diseases such as arthritis. The present invention provides a polynucleotide comprising a CpG motif wherein guanine is methylated, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the above-mentioned polynucleotide.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A polynucleotide comprising a CpG motif wherein guanine of the CpG motif is methylated and the methylated guanine is 6-O-methyl-2′-deoxyguanosine which comprises the nucleotide sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 4. 
     
     
       2. The polynucleotide comprising a CpG motif wherein guanine of the CpG motif is methylated and the methylated guanine is 6-O-methyl-2′-deoxyguanosine which consists of the nucleotide sequence shown in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 4. 
     
     
       3. A pharmaceutical composition which comprises the polynucleotide of  claim 1  as an active ingredient and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 
     
     
       4. A pharmaceutical composition which comprises the polynucleotide of  claim 2  as an active ingredient and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
